A probably silly question.
Are the imatest results comparable between 10mp and 16mp sections in the lens reviews, pentax section?
I was particularly interested in how the following lenses performed:
Pentax SMC-DA 16-45mm f/4 ED AL (Reviewed in 10mp format)
Pentax SMC-DA 16-45mm f/4 ED AL (10mp)
Pentax SMC DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR (16mp)
Pentax SMC DA 35mm f/2.4 AL (16mp)
The DA 18-55mm WR (a kit lens) would seem to outperform the much raved about 16-45 SMC-DA.
I am aware that the WR is a 2nd generation pentax kit lens, and pentax kits are normally deemed pretty good, but I am guessing that the imatest difference might be due to the WR having been tested at 16mp.
Am I correct?
Also, is anybody aware of any differences between the pentax and samsung versions of the 16-45 and the 18-55 WR?
I found a pretty good price on the Samsung branded ones and, if there are no known QA issues with Samsung, I would rather go for those and save some money.
Thank you very much!
